Year 2
Semester S1
ECTS Credits 6
Workload TP(60H)
Scientific area Aeronautics and Astronautics
Entry requirements Knowledges of Algebra and Calculus
Learning outcomes To teach the application of the basic laws of Mechanics to Engineering problems related to system in motion. The student should be able to formulate a problem of Dynamics, to develop a model of system, to develop the equations of motion, and to determine the required characteristics.
Syllabus 1. Kinematics of a particle. Position, velocity, acceleration. Trajectory. Rectilinear motion. Curvilinear motion. Circular motion.
2. Kinematics of rigid bodies. Translation of a rigid body. Rotation of a rigid body. Plane motion. 3D motion. Euler angles.
3. Composed motion of the point. Composed motion of a rigid body.
4. Dynamics of a Material Point. Force and Acceleration. Newton's laws. Linear momentum. Conservation of linear momentum. Angular momentum. Work and Energy. Work of a force. Principle of work and energy. Conservative forces and energy conservation.
5. Dynamics of Rigid Body. Equations of motion. Kinetic moment. Conservation of kinetic moment. Rotation about an axis. Dynamic balance. Euler equations. Gyroscope. Work and energy in the motion of rigid body. Principle of work and energy. Conservation of energy.
